Chapter 260: Making Dumplings
He furrowed his brows and reflected for the first time: "Did I do something wrong?" β
Anxia: "Are you right? β
"Would you be angry if I promised to give you your favorite chocolate, but then reversed it for various reasons?"
In this way, as soon as the generation entered, Yu Shuyi immediately understood what it was like.
His immature face suddenly became serious: "I was wrong, I won't do this in the future."
An Xia raised her eyebrows in surprise, she didn't expect the little guy to be so spiritual, and he actually understood what she meant so quickly.
"If that's the case, then I'll reward you with a candy right now." Anxia magically flattened her palm, and there was a small chocolate on it, which was golden and looked sweet and attractive.
Yu Shuyi's eyes lit up for a moment for the first time, but he didn't subconsciously take it, but looked at Jiang Yan for the first time.
He has formed a habit, and now he has to ask Jiang Yan first when he eats.
Jiang Yan smiled: "You can only eat one." β
Yu Shuyi smiled and nodded: "I know, thank you Mom." β
When An Xia saw this scene, she couldn't help but sigh, how did Aunt Jiang make a poor child so obedient, it was incredible.
Yu Chen has been completely ignored by Yu Shuyi.
After he put things down, Grandma was still a little curious.
"Went out on a trip and bought so many things and came back?"
"Well, Anxia said that on Chinese New Year's Eve, it is still necessary to decorate the home, otherwise it will be too deserted, I arranged these for the first time, I have no experience, these are all bought by Anxia." Yu Chen said truthfully.
The old man likes to be lively, especially this kind of excitement with the flavor of the New Year, and suddenly the corners of grandma's eyes and eyebrows were dyed with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Xia Xia." β
Anxia was praised by name and was very modest: "Hehe, it's not hard at all." β
An Xia gave out the gifts one by one, and they all saw surprise and satisfaction on the other party's face, and An Xia was relieved to see such a scene.
Grandpa is not here now, she just needs to make up for a gift when the time comes.
Xiao Baozi came to Anxia's side strongly: "Everyone has gifts, why don't I have gifts?" β
He suddenly felt that he had been treated unfairly, and angrily interrogated Anxia.
Anxia said innocently: "I have already given you your gift." β
Yu Shuyi was stunned and said, "It can't be the candy just now, right?" β
"Well, I don't think you lack anything, what you want most should be some candy and snacks, so you see, I bought these for you, are you happy?" Anxia said with a smile, and by the way, she also opened the small bag that had been containing candy, which was full of all kinds of chocolates and snacks.
Yu Shuyi looked at the rich snacks and frowned bitterly, if he usually he would be ecstatic, but now, under Jiang Yan's strict management, he didn't dare to eat more sugar at all, let alone so many snacks.
She knew that she couldn't eat it now, but she still used these snacks to tempt herself, thinking of this, he suddenly snorted coldly, turned around and ran away.
An Xia looked at the back of the little fat man and had to admit that he did have a little bad taste, and it was funny to see him eating deflated, so he immediately laughed softly.
Yu Chen was helpless: "You are really getting more and more naΓ―ve." β
"Whoever said that, I don't think I'm naΓ―ve at all." What she is doing now is just a little revenge, so that he can't see and eat, much better than he was at the beginning.
What else can Yu Chen say, he can only agree.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, Anxia was in high spirits, hung up all the things she bought, and spent the morning getting everything ready.
She clapped her hands, stood a little farther away and looked at her masterpiece, and pushed Yuchen with her elbow: "Festive is festive, but do you think it looks a little cheesy?" β
She frowned, always feeling that if such a big villa was pasted with two blessing characters, suddenly it would not have the same lofty feeling as before.
"No, it's not tacky at all, but it just looks like it's just a change of style, and it's a little more lively, before, the house has never been so lively."
It's always deserted here, and he is the only one when he comes to live occasionally, and he completely treats this place as a hotel, but now with Anxia, it's different, he suddenly has a sense of belonging to home, so he feels great when he looks at everything.
"Well, then no problem, let's go make dumplings, what stuffing do you want to eat?" Anxia asked.
"Celery beef filling." Yu Chen said.
"Okay, I'll ask for cabbage and pork filling." She said with a smile, swallowing at the thought of being able to eat it right away.
What she enjoyed was not the deliciousness, but the atmosphere of sitting together and making dumplings with everyone, and that feeling was the first time.
However, the only people who make dumplings are her and Yu Chen, and Yu Shuyi is still making trouble next to her from time to time.
Jiang Yan has never made dumplings, and she only finds it interesting to watch.
Grandma was upstairs and hadn't been down since morning.
Everyone is used to grandma's method of living in seclusion, and no one cares.
"Auntie, do you want to try it?" An Xia saw that Jiang Yan had been standing aside curiously, and immediately invited Jiang Yan to make dumplings with a smile.
Jiang Yan blinked: "But I don't know how to make dumplings at all." β
"You look good, how did you wrap it?" In Jiang Yan's eyes, An Xia's hands are very dexterous, and in a short time, one dumpling after another was wrapped, and it was not that ordinary wrapping method, and it looked different from what she usually ate.
"These wrapping methods look very complicated, in fact, they are very simple, this is a kind of dumpling making method in our hometown, as long as the meat filling is placed on it, both sides are slightly closed, so it looks like it is successful?" An Xia demonstrated, manually slowing down the motion, so that Jiang Yan could see more clearly.
"I'll try." Jiang Yan was in high spirits.
In fact, not only that, but more importantly, when she rarely saw her son getting along with Anxia, she found that she was a completely different person in front of them, and the son who was cold and hard, not very easy to talk to, suddenly became a good man, gentle, considerate, and exceptionally obedient.
In the past, he never cooked, but now that An Xia said it, he actually came to make dumplings so obediently, no matter how you look at it, it is surprising.
It was also because of this curiosity that she was curious.
As a result, I was so curious that I was attracted by making dumplings.
She sat down and tried to wrap one, but found that it was far from being as simple as she imagined, but the bag was crooked, and there was no trace of Anxia's bag, which made people feel bitter when they looked at it.
An Xia sneered, and then held back: "It's okay aunt, just try it, it's very simple." β
Jiang Yan complained and said, "Why is it so easy to see you, but it is so difficult when it comes to my hands?" β
Anxia had a headache: "Well, it may be because you don't cook much." β
Jiang Yan suddenly lost interest in the dumplings in her hand, but wanted to know more about Anxia's family.
"Oh? So you cook a lot? β
"Well, but the best thing I can remember is the Yangchun noodles made by my mother." She recalls the past, "My mother was very flexible when she rolled the noodles, and the Yangchun noodles she made were very delicious, and the fragrance spread after sprinkling a little green onion on top, and I could smell it when I was doing my homework in the room, and now I think that my ability to learn to cook should have something to do with my mother's influence on me, my memory of being a child is very vague, but in her limited memory, she can always make all kinds of delicious things." β
She came back to her senses and found that Yuchen and Jiang Yan had been listening carefully, and she was suddenly a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I remembered the past for a while just now." β
Jiang Yan's expression was gentle: "For so many years, you must have had a hard time." β
An Xia shook his head: "I've long been used to it, I can't talk about any hard work, besides, if the hard work for so many years was to meet you, then I don't think it's hard at all, at least I met you now, and I met Yuchen, which is the greatest luck for me." β
She said with a smile, and the sincerity in her eyes really touched people.
Yu Chen's heart moved, and he looked at An Xia's gaze very gently: "Me too." β
Jiang Yan was really a little speechless when she looked at the two of them as if there was no one next to them, but she was very pleased that the relationship between the two could be so good.
Jiang Yan had a good impression of Anxia at the beginning, and with the long-term relationship and communication, her love for Anxia became deeper and deeper.
After all, she actually wanted to have a daughter, but Yu Shuyi disappointed her, and now when she sees An Xia, she inevitably treats her as her own daughter.
"Okay, okay, if it's delayed like this, I don't know when the dumplings will be finished." Although Jiang Yan really didn't want to interrupt them, she really had to interrupt them looking at their appearance, otherwise she really didn't doubt that they would be able to continue like this forever.
"Shuyi, go upstairs and call grandma, it's time for lunch." Jiang Yan saw her youngest son who was doing nothing and staring at the computer, and ordered.
Yu Shuyi was watching Peppa Pig, reluctant to watch.
So much so that Jiang Yan screamed several times before he heard it.
"Yu Shuyi, if you don't speak again, I'm going to be angry."
Yu Shuyi shuddered for a moment, it was obvious that he didn't want to know what the consequences would be if Jiang Yan was angry, put down the remote control, and went upstairs with a jump.
He knocked on the door.
"Grandma, it's time to eat."
There was no response from inside, and he knocked several times in a row, but there was still no movement.
